That would be fun. I have been to that store a few times, to bad I
didn't know you then. When I lived in Vegas, before my wife died, I
went to a e s a lot and once a year we'd make to the pheonix ham fest.
Last time I was there, way back in 2010, I went to ron's house, I forget
his call, the guy who builds scorpian antennas. I now have one of those
on my house which is a metal house, 24 by 84, a hell of a ground plane.
Sorry I didn't think to look for you on 40 this afternoon. I kind of
quit listening as I could never hear those east coast guys.
You ever been to a frys store? We had one in Vegas and it was way
across town. I use to kid Libbie about having one closer to our house
in a large building that had been the great in doors. Ironic thing is
that after I moved back here, they did indeed open up a second store
within walking distance from where Libbie and I lived.
